Auburn will have one of the country's top prospects on hand for its game Saturday against Texas A&M, but it will be a tough task to flip his commitment.

Alex Leatherwood, a five-star offensive tackle ranked No. 5 nationally, confirmed he will take an unofficial visit to the game. The Pensacola, Fla., native is close friends with Navarre, Fla., lineman Nick Brahms, an Auburn commitment.

Though Leatherwood has visited other schools and will officially visit Michigan next month, he has remained firm in his 16-month commitment to the Crimson Tide.

His official visit to Alabama will be for the Iron Bowl. He visited Auburn for Big Cat Weekend with Brahms, but so far the Tigers haven't been a major factor in his recruitment.

** Nathaniel Watson, a 6-foot-3, 210-pound linebacker/athlete from Maplesville High School, will be at the game. Auburn offered Watson this summer. He is related to former Auburn fullbacks Tommie Agee and Harold Morrow. Bowling Green, Mississippi State and South Alabama are among other offers for the class of 2018 recruit, who is not yet ranked.

** Plenty more recruits will be on hand, and this post will be updated with more confirmations. T.D. Moultry, a linebacker commitment from Jackson-Olin, will once again be at an Auburn game this season.

** A pair of commitments will be taking official visits elsewhere. McAdory athlete Malcolm Askew is heading to California and Southside-Gadsden athlete Alaric Williams is heading to Nebraska.

** Auburn's entire basketball coaching staff made an in-home visit with Auburn High forward Garrison Brooks. The 6-foot-9, 230-pound Brooks was also recently offered by North Carolina.
